Underground mining contractor PYBAR Mining Services has been awarded the contract for underground exploration decline development and diamond drilling at Evolution Mining’s Cowal Gold Operations located in West Wyalong, 350km west of Sydney.

In August we took the first steps in obtaining our Registered Training Organisation (RTO) certification. Initially we will apply to facilitate Certificate II and III in Underground Metalliferous Mining.

Reduced visibility of LVs in the underground environment is a significant safety risk – even when fitted with mandatory flashing beacons. To address this issue, we undertook an initiative to improve LV safety by fitting all LVs across our sites with whip aerials. To date, the results have been notable.
